Malik Benson has accepted an invite to the East-West Shrine game. Seems to indicate he's not coming back.

Re: 2026 NFL Draft Prep
Because he spent some time in JUCO, there was some thought that he might go the Diego Pavia route and apply/sue for another year of eligibility. Same with Alex Harkey.Greenblood wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 11:56 am I thought Benson was a senior (https://goducks.com/sports/football/ros ... nson/17436).

Re: 2026 NFL Draft Prep
I think he's been an integral part to our success, especially the back half of the season when the games really mattered.
Glad to see he's getting an invite because I think he's someone who could stick on an Active Roster due to playing Special Teams
